For those familiar with my journey, my passion for fostering high performance is evident. Whether it's undertaking challenging Spartan races with mates, steering teams towards success, or fostering robust conversations in my YPO forum, my ethos has consistently been to inspire and elevate those around me.
In recent months, as I pondered my next venture, my long-standing commitment to organizational goal-setting and driving performance became a focal point. With over two decades of experience in creating and growing companies like Unique World and Tinybeans, I've come to understand the intricate challenges CEOs face.
I've spoken to 48+ CEO's in recent months (to validate this) and they all agree - this part of their job is a struggle. And on top of that, there is no transparent measure to drive high performance - it's all subjective with no benchmarking in place.

It's at this crossroads of my passion for challenges, innate motivation, and my desire to improve workplace performance universally, that SKOR is born. My mission with SKOR isn't just to advise CEOs on strategies to amplify their teams' potential but to establish a clear industry standard for gauging workplace performance.
According to Gallop Research, the cost of disengaged employees to the tech industry exceeds $19 billion annually. Beyond the loss incurred from disengagement, employee turnover is monumental, with recruitment costs often surpassing 150% of an individual's salary. Despite significant investments in systems aimed at aligning employees with organizational goals, the prevalent frameworks often fall short, marred by ambiguity and lengthy implementation timelines.
With SKOR, our ambition is clear: to enable High Performance in the Workplace! Think of us as your “Chief Performance Officer”.
We envision a future where SKOR becomes the universal metric for performance, prompting questions of organizations like: "What's your SKOR? How does it stand against peers in your sector? Or against companies at a similar growth stage?"
To the trailblazing CEOs of the tech industry (other industries will be launched later): I invite you to discover your SKOR. Dive into our platform here and embark on this journey towards improved team performance.
We are committed to elevating workplace performance, enriching employee engagement, and aligning individuals with the broader organizational vision. Our aspiration? For future Gallup reports to highlight the transformation SKOR has ushered in, reflecting enhanced workplace motivation and performance.
I'm beyond excited!!
